Hello RogerBacon,

Would it be possible to have a simple modification which only gives the 2000 stars galaxy?

That'd be great, i wouldn't like to modify the gameplay too much .
Thanks !

Thank you Elliot

I see... But it's only my ships that looks like that. Other race's ships are perfectly visible. If it was for performance, why hide only the player race?

I can barely see my ships, that is quite disturbing :/.

<r> Hello,<br/> <br/> I do not know if it is intended or not, but I don't recall seeing this in the previous versions of DW.

I've seen this problem in my own game too, yes. It was in v1701 tho but i don't think this has been fixed since.

Well that's the whole point. A war in itself is merely a diplomatic situation.
You can, however, be in a "state of war" without being officially in open conflict. Much like in real world.

The ennemy will retaliate tho, and eventually declare war.

I had no real problem understanding how this works. This is all perfectly explained in the galactopedia [:)].

<t> It's not really considered an act of war. It's just a (potentially huge) relationship hit. Also, you can't colonize at all in the sphere of another empire (afaik).<br/> <br/> I like it better this way. The galaxy is much more "territorial" and it adds a lot to the strategic possibilities (for ex...

Hm... I can, I do it all the time.

Thank you Erik & Elliot [:)]

Very good

If you built your monitoring station before researching the long range scanner, they won't work.
You have to either retrofit them (if they are in orbit of a planet) or destroy and rebuild them (if they are alone in space).

Notes are a great idea indeed

That is strange. I actually have the beta patch installed and it works like a charm.

I think that, yes, your best bet is to reinstall everything (it doesn't take long if you still have the installers).

You can remove it using the editor (it's the "planets and pen" button, left of the characters button).
